The card feeding mechanism and the card discharging mechanism share a card distributing motor.

In the embodiment, the card discharging pressing plate 704 is hinged with the card distributing bin 701 through a rotating shaft and is endowed with a downward pressing trend through a torsion spring (so that the card discharging pressing roller 705 is pressed on the card discharging roller 706); two annular bulges are arranged on the card feeding roller B709, and two grooves A corresponding to the annular bulges are arranged on the card feeding pressing plate B710; the bottom wall of the card distributing bin 701 extends from the card storing space to the card feeding roller B709, and a space for discharging paper scraps of the playing cards is reserved between the card feeding roller B709 and the card discharging roller 706, so that the faults of moving parts or the faults of sensors caused by the paper scraps are avoided.

In the prior art, as disclosed in patent documents such as CN2801230Y, CN203303617U, a dealing limit plate is adopted to limit the card outlet height of a card outlet of a dealing bin, or the card outlet height of the card outlet of the dealing bin is limited by arranging an upper roller and a lower roller which are oppositely rolled up and down, the number of playing cards passing through the card outlet of the dealing bin is limited by the structure, and the structure is very easy to be blocked when a plurality of playing cards enter the card outlet of the dealing bin, so that the requirement on the used playing cards is very high, the size adjustment of the card outlet of the dealing bin is also required to be completely consistent with the thickness of the playing cards, and the situation that a plurality of playing cards cannot be separated and blocked at the card outlet of the dealing bin due to static electricity or viscosity between the playing cards is also easy to be caused during use.

In order to solve the technical problem, the gap between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding pressing plate A703 limits the entrance of only a few playing cards (at most three playing cards in the embodiment), and through the front-back dislocation and the upper-lower overlapping design of the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding pressing plate A703 (the pressing plate convex strip is staggered with the axis of the card feeding roller A711 by a horizontal distance d and is closer to the card storage space of the card separating bin 701 than the axis of the card feeding roller A711, and the pressing plate convex strip is lower than the top of the card feeding roller A711), when the gap between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller A711 enters a plurality of playing cards, the entering ends of the playing cards are tilted so that the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards are prevented from being separated by electrostatic adhesion, and the static adhesion of the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards is avoided, because the static friction force between the pressing plate convex strip and the upper playing cards is far greater than the friction force between the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards is derived from the card feeding roller A is applied to the lower playing cards, and the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards are kept to be separated and the lower cards and the upper and the lower playing cards are kept forward and the lower and are kept temporarily separated. Although the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller A711 separate the two playing cards which are overlapped up and down, the situation that the two playing cards enter between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 in sequence is unavoidable, the invention ensures that the upper playing card and the lower playing card are deformed through the matching of the concave-convex dislocation structures on the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709, thereby avoiding that the upper playing card and the lower playing card cannot be separated due to electrostatic adhesion, and because the card feeding pressing plate B is static and the concave-convex structure is smaller than the pressing contact area of the upper playing card, the static friction force between the card feeding pressing plate B and the upper playing card is far greater than the friction force between the upper playing card and the lower playing card, and the conveying power of the playing card is derived from the card feeding roller B and is applied to the lower playing card, so that the lower playing card is conveyed to move forward, and only the lower playing card is temporarily detained, and the lower playing card is sent out from between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709; the delivered playing cards are clamped by a card delivery compression roller 705 and a card delivery roller 706 and delivered to the card turning device.

In other embodiments of the card distributing mechanism of the present invention, the upper and lower positions of the card feeding pressing plate a703 and the card feeding roller a711 may be interchanged, or the upper and lower positions of the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 may be interchanged, or the upper and lower positions of the card discharging pressing plate 704 and the card discharging pressing roller 705 and the card discharging roller 706 may be interchanged, or the concave-convex structures on the card feeding roller B709 and the card feeding pressing plate B710 may be interchanged or deformed, so that the effective separation of the plurality of playing cards may be realized, which is one of the specific embodiments applying the playing card separating principle of the present invention. The card feeding pressing plate a703, the card feeding roller a711, the card feeding pressing plate B710, the card feeding roller B709, the card discharging pressing plate 704, the card discharging pressing roller 705 and the card discharging roller 706 may be an integral part or a combined part formed by a plurality of parts to achieve the same function, for example, the card feeding pressing plate B710 may be an integral part with concave-convex structure, the card feeding pressing plate B710 may also be formed by fixing a roller part with concave-convex rings on a pressing plate part, and in another embodiment, the roller part with concave-convex rings is mounted on the pressing plate part in a mode of extremely large rotation resistance (i.e. the roller part can rotate relative to the pressing plate part but has large rotation difficulty resistance).

Preferably, the card feeding pressing plate a703 is formed with an inclined plane or an arc surface on one side of the pressing plate convex strip close to the card feeding direction, so that only a few playing cards enter between the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 after being separated by blocking, and the playing card separating pressure of the card discharging mechanism is reduced. Similarly, the card feeding pressing plate B710 is formed with an inclined plane or an arc surface at one side close to the card feeding direction, so that when two or three playing cards pass through the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 and then tilt up, the playing cards can be further and conveniently moved up and down, and only one or two playing cards enter between the card feeding pressing plate B710 and the card feeding roller B709 through blocking, and the playing card separation pressure of the card discharging mechanism can be reduced, and the blocking of the playing cards can be avoided. In addition, a space for tilting one end of the playing card is provided between the card feeding pressing plate a703 and the card feeding pressing plate B710, that is, an upward inclined plane or an arc surface is formed behind the pressing plate convex strip, so that a plurality of playing cards passing through the pressing plate convex strip and the card feeding roller a711 can be fully tilted and thoroughly separated.

Preferably, the cross section of the pressing plate convex strip is V-shaped, so that the pressing plate separating effect is better.

The identification element is a camera, and the camera is connected with the image identification module. In this way, when playing cards enter different positions in the card turning box 309, the photos of the same surface and different positions of the playing cards are obtained, and the law that the overlapping degree of the four directions of the back surface pattern of the playing cards is high for each position is utilized, so that whether the playing cards are the front surface or the back surface of the playing cards is determined according to the overlapping degree of the patterns of the photos.

For further setting of the card shoe, reference is made to the patent document with publication number CN103083896a and the related patent application of the inventor for a specific card turning process.

The card-turning seat 301 is provided with a card-dealing mechanism outside the card outlet of the card-turning box 309, and reference is made to a card-dealing mechanism disclosed in patent document CN105854274 a. The dealing mechanism comprises a dealing support arranged outside a dealing outlet of a dealing box 309, one end of the dealing support is fixed on a dealing seat 301, a dealing pressing plate 307 is arranged on the dealing support, one end of the dealing pressing plate 307 is hinged with the dealing support, a dealing pressing piece 305 is arranged at the other end of the dealing pressing plate 307, a channel for playing cards to pass through is formed between the dealing support and the dealing pressing plate 307, and a dealing roller 304 which is arranged up and down corresponding to the dealing piece 305 is arranged on the dealing seat 301 or the dealing support and is in transmission connection with a dealing motor 302, and the dealing pressing plate 307 gives the trend that the dealing piece 305 approaches the dealing roller 304 through an elastic mechanism. In this embodiment, the elastic mechanism is a torsion spring sleeved on the hinge shaft of the dealing press plate 307, one end of the torsion spring is propped against the dealing support or the card flipping seat, and the other end of the torsion spring is propped against the dealing press plate 307.

Although two playing cards stacked up and down are separated in the card distributing device, the possibility that two playing cards enter the card turning box at the same time still exists under the condition of extremely low probability, so that preferably, in the embodiment, the card dealing roller 304 and the card pressing piece 305 are arranged up and down correspondingly, a gap for playing cards to pass is reserved between the two playing cards, a plurality of annular grooves are arranged on the card dealing roller 304, protrusions corresponding to the annular grooves are arranged on the card pressing piece 305, and the protrusions on the card pressing piece 305 protrude into the annular grooves on the card dealing roller 304. The card pressing member 305 is fixed on the card dealing press plate 307, or is integrally formed with the card dealing press plate 307, or is mounted on the card dealing press plate in such a manner that the rotation resistance is extremely large, so that the card pressing member 305 cannot rotate synchronously with the card dealing roller 304. In this way, the invention makes the upper and lower playing cards deform through the matching of the card dealing roller 304 and the concave-convex structure on the card pressing piece 305, thereby avoiding the situation that the upper and lower playing cards cannot be separated due to electrostatic adhesion, and because the card pressing piece 305 cannot rotate synchronously with the card dealing roller 304 and the concave-convex structure is smaller in contact area with the playing cards, the static friction force between the card pressing piece and the playing cards is far greater than the friction force between the upper and lower playing cards, and the conveying power of the playing cards comes from the card dealing roller, so that the playing cards contacted with the card dealing roller are conveyed to move forward continuously, the playing cards contacted with the card pressing piece are temporarily retained, and only one playing card is sent out from between the card dealing roller 304 and the card pressing piece 305.

In this embodiment, the card pressing member 305 is a roller fixed to the card-distributing platen, and the protrusions are formed in a ring shape on the circumferential surface of the roller, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and also facilitates the discharge of paper chips along both sides of the ring-shaped protrusions. In other embodiments, the card pressing member may be integrally formed with the card dealing platen, and a corresponding concave-convex structure is provided at a position of the card pressing member corresponding to the card dealing roller. In other embodiments of the invention, the card dealing rack may be integrally formed with the card shoe.

In order to avoid playing card damage and machine faults caused by the fact that the card pressing piece is pressed on the card dealing roller by great pressure, a card pressing limiting mechanism used for limiting the moving range of the card pressing piece is arranged, the card pressing limiting mechanism can be a waist-shaped hole structure or an upper and lower limiting stop structure arranged on the card turning seat or the card dealing bracket, two ends of the card pressing piece are limited by the waist-shaped hole structure or the upper and lower limiting stop structure, in the embodiment, the card pressing limiting mechanism comprises rollers arranged at two ends of the card dealing roller 304 and bearings arranged at two ends of the card pressing piece 305, the rollers of the card dealing roller are arranged at two ends of a roller shaft of the card dealing roller, the bearings are arranged on shafts at two ends of the card pressing piece 305, and the rollers of the card dealing roller are in rolling contact with the bearings of the card pressing piece in a propping fit mode, so that the minimum gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller can be limited, and the card dealing roller can be provided with very high matching precision and running precision. The elastic mechanism can exert larger acting force on the card pressing piece to accurately control the gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller, and in order to avoid excessive withdrawal of the card pressing piece caused by the fact that the card pressing piece extrudes a plurality of playing cards between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller, a limit rod for limiting withdrawal of the card pressing piece 305 or the card dealing pressing plate 307 is arranged on the card turning seat or the card dealing bracket so as to limit the maximum gap between the card pressing piece and the card dealing roller.

The card turning seat 301 is provided with a card dealing cover outside the card dealing mechanism, the card dealing cover limits the flying range of the playing cards sent out from the card dealing mechanism, so that the playing cards can not fall into the card receiving box, and the card dealing cover is provided with a detection element for detecting whether the playing cards are sent out or not.

The playing cards can generate a large amount of static electricity in the running process of the playing card machine and in the playing process of players, the static electricity is a reason that the upper playing cards and the lower playing cards can generate larger adhesive force and can not be separated, meanwhile, the static electricity can also cause that parts such as a sensor are polluted and invalid, in the process of the playing cards being sent out from a card dealing mechanism to fly, the playing cards with static electricity often drift due to the electric field force and can not fall into a card receiving box, therefore, in the embodiment, the card pressing piece 305 is preferably made of conductive metal materials, and the card pressing piece 305 is grounded to eliminate static electricity on the playing cards.

The dealing arrangement 4 comprises a dealing mechanism arranged outside a card outlet of the card turning box 309, and a plurality of card receiving boxes for receiving the playing cards sent by the dealing mechanism are distributed along the same circumference and move along the circumference. The dealing mechanism is positioned in the rotating circumference of the card receiving box, and the card discharging direction of the dealing mechanism is consistent with the radial direction of the rotating circumference of the card receiving box. The plurality of card receiving boxes are fixed on a rotating ring which is connected with the motor in a transmission way.
